Inbox Tuesday ~ Gargantuan Post

As International Federation of the Phonographic Industry (IFPI) breathes down my neck, you can expect more great tunes that haven’t been heard yet to come from bands/artists who have emailed The Duke.

I spent a good portion of Little Duke’s naptime, cleaning out my inbox to bring you a gargantuan (isn’t this a great word?) batch of goodies. First link is to bands’ websites or myspaces; second is the mp3; and underneath is my take/brief description.

Thailand ~ Prime Numbers
Sorta like a drum machine Mates of State

Libbie Schrader ~ Wish You Were The Woman
Think Charlotte Martin and Vienna Tang get married (not that they are lovers or even hay) and adopt and raise a chanteuse with a knack for clever lyrics

Randi Russo ~ West Coast Girl
In our duets post, Bruce posted PJ and Thom singing. Randi is the off-spring of that musical meeting

Postscripts ~ Untitled #2
I never know why artists number their untitled pieces as it gives them a title. That being said, this is one nice instrumental.

Podington Bear ~ Trippin At The Party
A dude trying to post and share his own music. A few songs a month. Worth a listen.

Orange Is In ~ Run Towards the Warmth of the Sun
The new Wilco album is called Sky Blue Sky. What else is in blue sky? An Orange sun Is In.

Loch Lomond ~ Bird And A Bear (I Am The Bird)
I just want Craig to know I was planning on posting this song before I read his post about them (and by his reasoning, The Late Greats is worth its salt).

Alexis Blue ~ Dyslexics Of The World... UNTIE!
A British power-pop group that has a sense of humor and a sense of rhythm.

Hit The Hype Machine to listen to more Thailand, Randi Russo, Postscripts, Podington Bear, Orange Is In, Libbie Schrader, Loch Lomond or Alexis Blue.
